Kansas City Here We Come!
I will be offline for the next few days. We have had our Jack and Annie Magic Treehouse tickets
forever, but we have now turned it all into a somewhat-last-minute- mini-getaway. Last night we booked a room in the Kansas City plaza area on hotwire. Because it was short notice, we got a pretty good deal.
It has been forever since I have been the downtown Crown Center area and thanks to advice from Liz, Jenny, and Erica we now have have some very fun things planned. We will be heading to the Santa's Gingerbread Village, Science City at Union Station and the Kalediscope at Hallmark. Lucy and Megan are signed up for an independent art class at the Kalediscope for an hour and a half on Friday. Not only will that be so much fun for them as they love art, but that will allow me a little time to peruse some of the shops around the Plaza (can't wait for that!) or just hang out with Dave and Max.
Now of course with this being an expensive time of year of anyway, I worried about the cost of getting away. Since one of my gifts is being able to justify anything, I had to do a breakdown of reasoning: Magic Treehouse tickets have been paid for since September, one night at hotel was a good deal (and a hotel overnight is something the kids have been asking for forever), Friday night we are staying with good friends that live in Overland Park, Science City is free because of our reciprocal pass here, Hallmark, art class, and gingerbread village are also free. In addition to this, our family really does need to get away. Impromptu planning (is that an oxymoron?) is something we don't do very often and the kids have no idea that we are leaving today after lunch...I can't wait to tell them!

Have you tried Wordle?
I am hooked on Wordle! My teaching colleague, Kathy, introduced it to me and it is the neatest thing and can be so personable. It is also very simple to use and figure out. Go to the site, type a variety of words about a certain subject or person. My writing students used it to make Christmas presents for their families. They brainstormed words that described someone special to them and typed it in. When we printed them out and put a nice piece of cardstock behind it, it makes a wonderful keepsake. This year we actually used Wordle to create our Christmas cards. Give it a try. It is so much fun! Thank you, Kathy!

What am I supposed to do with this old computer monitor?
I was already the self-proclaimed Costco Queen before, but now with this new green movement and the opportunity to get free cash cards, I knew it was a match made. Costco has a new trade in and recycle program for used electronics. With my hubby in the computer business, an old digital camera lying around and an ancient video camera, I am definitely curious. I wonder if they take old cell phones? On the other hand, Max gets such a kick out of talking to "da-da" on those phones and attempting to pull the antennas out, I may just have to hang on to those for awhile. Click here for the details on how you can get your estimated value for your old electronics, ship it for free and get your gift card within a few weeks.
